2. No Time frame yet on Asterisk, it is still being worked on for interop tesing at present, there a re a few issues with it that we are working on, rest assured it is being worked on but sorry I can't give any official time to release yet.

Direct trunking into Asterisk would be cleaner and cheaper though - and will allow people to run asterisk in a VM if they dont need hardware cards (i.e. no Telecom POTS access). - cant wait.

Regarding your porting sbaird - mav, am i correct in saying that if a Telecom customer with adsl on that particular line wants to port, they would need to do something about their adsl first? (Disconnect, or move it to a different, connected, physical Telecom landline)

Got cable, none of this ADSL stuff.

Thanks for the quick reply maverick,But its asterisk is essential so i will have to look elsewhere at this time.

Any one got recommendations of VOIP providers that support number porting and asterisk?

Yes your right Tony, if you port your number all services under that number are relinguished ie DSL
